How do you feel about your pitching depth? We have several guys competing for innings this year so we are excited to see which of them will emerge as our top arms.

What are some of the strengths of your lineup? Our top of the order guys have 2-3 years of varsity experience, which should help to carry us. We are hoping that with the addition of some younger players we can put together a lineup that consistently puts the ball in play and forces defenses to make plays.

How does the team shape up defensively? Defensively we return much of the middle part of the field, however our outfield spots are an area that we will have to monitor and adjust if needed.

What do you view as the biggest challenges for your team in 2018? We will be fine as long as we stay together and grow as a group.

What are the characteristics you would like to define your team? Effort each day. Lead and make your teammates better. Compete with pride.
